- येन ज्ञातेनैव समस्तं विदितं स्या-
- by knowing whom alone all is known
- द्यस्मादन्यद्वस्तु जगत्यां शशशृङ्गम् ।
- than whom no other thing in the world exists, like a hare's horn
- यं प्राप्तानां नास्ति परं प्राप्यमनादिं
- for whom there is nothing further to attain, the beginningless
- तं प्रत्यञ्चं दक्षिणवक्त्रं कलयामि
- him, the inner one, the south-facing, I meditate upon
Knowing him, all is known; nothing else is real like the hare's horn. The Lord who is the final goal is the Self in whom attainment and attainer are one.
